LimeExchange Launches Community Portal for Joomla Developers

New York, NY (PressExposure) October 01, 2009 -- LimeExchange today announced the creation of a new community portal for Joomla developers. Driven by the popularity of Joomla related projects on its services marketplace, LimeExchange has developed a wide variety of tools and services designed to make it easier than ever to build powerful websites based on the Joomla platform. These services include:

â¢ Free web hosting optimized for the Joomla platform, with the latest version pre-installed and integrated.
â¢ Access to a wide variety of Joomla templates and modules that make it easy to customize and extend the functionality of Joomla-based websites.
â¢ Joomla specific online skill tests that allow seasoned developers to showcase their knowledge and differentiate themselves on LimeExchange.
â¢ A consolidated feed of all Joomla related income opportunities sourced from popular job sites and freelance marketplaces.
â¢ Tools to connect and interact with other Joomla developers, including forums, blogs, and the provider social connection network on LimeExchange.
â¢ Educational resources including news feeds, blogs, and event print publications.

The new Joomla portal consolidates all of these tools and services in a single destination, making it easier than ever for developers to find income opportunities, promote their skills, and publish projects, completely free of cost. The portal can be accessed at http://joomla.limedevnet.com.

The number of highly skilled Joomla developers on LimeExchange has grown in proportion to the ever increasing demand for their services.

We decided to consolidate all of the tools and services we've built for this community in one place to make them easier to find, and make it easier for those looking for help with Joomla projects to connect with experienced developers.
